Bare Metal Server Vs. Virtual Machine (VM)


Aspect Bare Metal Server Virtual Machine (VM)
Performance Exclusively utilizes all server resources Virtualizes part of host resources to serve users
Resource Overhead Has almost no resource overhead Has relatively low resource overhead
Hardware Compatibility Offers stronger hardware compatibility Offers insufficient hardware compatibility
(due to virtualization)
Network Resources Provides fully dedicated network resources Provides shared network resources in most scenarios
Security Ensures higher security Ensures relatively secure environments
(via resource isolation)
Cost-Effectiveness Is relatively costly Is relatively economical
Others Supports deployment of nearly all business types Supports deployment of only some specific business functions
(requiring Bare Metal Servers and not supporting virtualized environments)
